mateo pauses, his eyes scanning the other's features. it would be easier if he wasn't so goddamn attractive. he nods his head slowly. maybe he was dangerous. "you're right..." though his eyes flickered to grayson's lips before looking away. "it would be too cruel. and i'm not like that." mateo runs a hand through his dark curls. "i'm a good friend. a great friend, actually."

[slccplessniights]

grayson couldn't help the smirk that made its way onto his face as mateo stared at him. knowing he'd won this round for now. "i know i am," he replied easily, licking his lips when he felt the other's gaze drop down to them. "no, definitely not cruel," he agreed. "are you though, mateo?" he asked, tone amused at his words. "are you really such a great friend?" he asked. "when we both know what you're thinking and what you want right now?"

"three... two..." olive counted slowly, in an overly dramatic way that she knew to be extremely annoying, and smiled widely as she reached her point. "one. guess what? i'm fine, i don't want to stop talking. but if you really want to shut me up, i can think of a few ways."

[slccplessniights]

"you're a piece of work." grayson scoffed at olive's little countdown, but that had been part of why he had been attracted to her in the first place. "and give me one good reason why i should, hmm?" he asked, brow raised as he looked down at the girl. "give you exactly what you want, that is?" he questioned, not backing down from the argument.

man did jules hate the sound of that. his girlfriend. but he did this to himself , didn't he ? " no , no. that's different - we . . . " it wasn't different , he was just jealous. " look it's just awkward. you've been dating for what , a few weeks ? no one really knows her and i don't think she's right for you anyway. " as if he had any say. " why can't it be just us , brant ? " a pause. " i mean the group. us and the group. yeah. " what a mess.

[slccplessniights]

"no, seriously. if you want me gone, just say so," brant told him, not backing down. "just be honest about it, for once." he challenged jules. "how is it different?" he asked, eyebrows raised. he knew there was one, but his own frustrations with julius spilling forward and having an outlet through this argument. "okay, and? how else are you going to get to know her?" he asked. an incredulous laugh escaped brantley at what jules said. "you have got to be kidding me, right?" he asked. "and you're the authority on what is and isn't right for me, are you?" he asked angrily. "we had just us, jules. you're the one that decided you didn't want that. you did that, not me."

As the girl he was coupled up with disappeared from his view, Luke finished the little bit of liquid he had in his glass of the alcohol they provided for them. It wasn't enough if he was being honest. Listening to Jayden speak, Luke slowly nodded his head, turning his attention back to his friend. "That's good. That the two of you are so linked up and content with each other." His voice was monotone. He didn't think he would find something like that, at least, that's what it felt like. The only person he had felt that kind of connection with -- well, he was sitting beside him. "Not exactly trouble. I just don't think the person I'm supposed to be connecting with is here yet. Hell, she just got pulled by the new guy and I don't even care." he admitted with a shrug of his shoulders. "And all the other girls, I don't feel anything for. Maybe the right one hasn't come in yet, or maybe this experience isn't for me. Who knows?"

[slccplessniights]

jayden followed luke's gaze and watched the girl the other was coupled up with walk away with someone else, a frown wrinkling his forehead at the sight. "that doesn't bother you?" he asked, gaze returning to his friend. he nodded at luke's words, looking down at his own drink and swirling it instead of drinking. trying to consider the truth in luke's statement. they got along well enough but whether he was truly content with her was another matter entirely. "maybe, i don't know..." jayden shrugged and shook his head, finally taking a sip from his own glass. his worry for the other returned at what luke said next. "what?" he asked, the man answered his earlier question and a part of him felt relieved but the other part of him only grew more worried about losing him if he was questioning whether he was fit to be here. "c'mon, luke, don't say that," he said. "you can't bail and leave me here alone," jayden told him, reaching a hand out to touch the other's arm with the sudden urge to hold onto the other. as if he would leave that very moment. it was irrational, he knew, but he didn't want luke to leave. couldn't imagine being there himself without him. "i don't think i could go on if you weren't here."

the whiteclaw was doing a lot of heavy lifting for her ego, especially since this was her second one. sidney hums and nods her head. "ah sorry, i kinda bolted out of there. considered jumping into the bushes." she glances at knox when she feels his touch. sidney smiles, it's gentle. "you don't have to explain yourself, it's okay, really. i shot my shot and that's what matters." sidney scans his face for a moment, before she blinks. "really? my horrible flirting hasn't been super obvious?"

[slccplessniights]

"you didn't have to do that." knox let out a soft, little laugh at her words and the image of her jumping into the bushes to get away from him. only momentarily though, because then it put a frown on his face, not wanting her to be running away from him. "you did, and it was insanely flattering," he assured her. he shook his head quickly at her question. "uh no?" he answered. "why would i have any reason to believe that you were flirting with me?" he asked. knox was oblivious to others interest in him, but for the most part he was absolutely certain sidney was completely out of his league. "i mean, you're gorgeous, sid. and i'm just me."

|| open || females 23+ || || muse || liam darling || || plot || both are home from secondary school ( college or university ) for the summer. he is looking forward to relaxing and having a fun summer. there is just one thing standing in the way of him having his ' fun ' he had planned... his ex-girlfriend that his mother invited to spend the whole vacation with them. ( lots of angsty, cute stuff & maybe so sexy stuff too ).

" you could have lied to her. told her that you had some other sort of plans for the summer. i know you would have come up with some great excuse if you had really put your mind to it... " liam hadn't expected that he would be spending his summer break stuck at his family's lake house with his ex-girlfriend. he couldn't wrap his mind around why she'd want to spend a summer with her ex and his family at a place that held so many memories not only between the two, but with his whole family.

[slccplessniights]

"i could have," aria agreed with a nod. "but then, where would the fun be in that?" she asked with a vindictive, little smile. "especially considering you never even bothered to tell her that we broke up," aria pointed out. "why should that responsibility fall on me, liam?" she asked. "no, no. i couldn't break her heart, especially considering she was just so excited to host," she told him. it was true, she could have been doing so many other things and could definitely have come up with a reason to turn down the invitation. yet, the urge and call to ruin liam's summer had somehow ended up being stronger than any of them. "no, i think this will suit me just fine for the summer."

muse: sidney chen, early twenties

open to: anyone!

plot: they're at a house party and maybe either in the night, sidney confessed feelings for y/m. it would have be unrequited or surprising or whatever ~ y/m can be into her or not, we can plot !

sidney nurses her raspberry white claw on the balcony outside, the party raging below. when she hears the slide door open, she looks over her shoulder. she smiles, but rolls her eyes. "haven't i embarrassed myself enough for one day?"

[slccplessniights]

knox walked out into the fresh air to join sidney after she had dropped a bombshell then disappeared on him. “found you,” he said with a little laugh. “i’ve been looking everywhere for you,” knox told her, stepping beside her and leaning against the railing. “hey, no. don’t,” he told her, reaching out and touching her elbow gently as he shook his head. “you didn’t embarrass yourself,” he assured her with a warm smile. “i just— you caught me by surprise is all,” he said after a moment. “that’s the last thing i was expecting you to say.”

open to: m plot: Okay. so if you've been watching this season of LoveIsland, it's somewhat based off of Zryce? So maybe, just two guys who are 'best friends' in the villa but there's something more that they have to figure out/explore? muse: Lukas Carter (test) fc can be changed if wanted

"How are things going in your couple now that the new bombshells showed up?" Despite seeing him with his partner during these challenges, seeing them make out, and talking, Luke figured he knew the answer to it. On his end? Sure, his couple was fine, but he couldn't help but get that twinge of jealousy when seeing his best friend in the villa making out with the girl he's in a couple with. It bothered him more than he would admit. Funny enough, he cared more about that than seeing the girl he's in a couple with being pulled for a chat now by the newest bombshell.

[slccplessniights]

it probably meant something that the new bombshells showing up had neither bothered or caught jayden’s attention. sure, some of them were nice and interesting enough, but he didn’t find himself particularly drawn to any of them, not really. he gave a little shrug at luke’s question. “it’s going well, i think?” he replied, not entirely sure himself. he glanced towards where she was sat with her little group of friends, chatting animatedly. they clearly had chemistry, enjoyed each other’s company and she was hotter than he could honestly comprehend, but still… there was something missing and he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. “she’s not interested in anyone else,” he told his best friend since arriving on the island, turning his attention back to him. “and i’m not either,” he answered truthfully. “so i feel good. why, is there trouble with you?” he asked, a worried frown now wrinkling his forehead. “talk to me.”

OPEN STARTER .

open to: anyone (21+) muse: julius 'jules' assaf-cole , 28 , personal trainer. based: this; y/m has a new partner and jules , despite having no business feeling jealous , is not taking it very well.

" i don't understand why they have to come out with us tonight. " words are mumbled really to himself , but are loud enough to be heard ; intentionally , of course. jules really had no business feeling any sort of way about this , considering he was the one who refused to take their then-relationship seriously , and yet here he was ! " i'm just saying. i think i should just be original group members only. "

[slccplessniights]

"because she's my girlfriend, j," he replied with a roll of his eyes at his friend. “if we went about it that way, technically i wouldn’t be here either,” brant pointed out, having been brought into the group by jules years ago. “you want me to go too?” he asked, brow raised at him.

[ad0rati0ns]

if he wasn't so stubborn, maybe mateo would have backed down. instead, he inched forward and raised his brows. "or what? you don't scare me, grayson."

[slccplessniights]

"maybe i should," he replied, a smile working its way onto his lips. grayson wasn't one to back down either, especially when it meant admitting defeat in front of someone else. "because it might be a hurtful betrayal from me..." grayson started, eyes on mateo briefly before turning his head to look where his girlfriend had gone to get them drinks. "but what do you think it would be from you?" he asked, turning back to look at mateo with a cruel, little smile. "hmm? think it just might destroy her."
